Shellfish Free Lime Broccoli Sprout Cups

These fresh, vibrant little cups are the kind of appetizer or light lunch that looks impressive but comes together with almost no effort. Crisp butter lettuce leaves cradle a tangle of broccoli sprouts, cool julienned cucumber, and creamy avocado, all tied together with a zippy lime-ginger dressing that genuinely makes the whole thing sing. The dressing itself — fresh lime juice, olive oil, honey, and grated ginger — is bright and clean, with no hidden sauces or condiments to second-guess. For anyone navigating shellfish allergies, that kind of ingredient transparency is a real relief, especially with dishes that lean into fresh, Asian-inspired flavors where oyster sauce or fish sauce can sneak in unexpectedly. Every component here is straightforward and plant-based, so you can serve these confidently at a gathering without fielding questions about what's in the dressing. A scatter of pumpkin seeds on top adds a satisfying crunch and a little extra nutrition if you want it. Serve them right away while the lettuce is still crisp and the avocado is fresh — these are best eaten the moment they hit the table.
